The above mentioned statement can be perceived as a debatable one.

Some people would agree


that emotion should be the baseline for making important decisions in life and some will choose the
latter approach towards decision-making. Both emotions and logic play intrinsic role in a person's
life as they help guide one in inspecting his surroundings, people's attitudes and what feelings and
demands their actions portray. And only after analyzing these things, a person can make a justifiable
and correct decision for his next move in life. I will be stating my opinion in this essay and show why
I support that specific approach towards leading life in crucial matters as well as in scenarios in
general.

Firstly, I believe that we can not make any keen decision by only relying on either emotion or logic as
both these strategies are most significant in guiding as towards the right approach. People who only
believe their gut feeling sometimes end up making wrong decisions. And sometimes seeing things
only through the lense of mainstream logic makes them completely negate and respect other
people's feelings and expectations towards them. Having said that, it is also important to analyze
situations first since different situations require us to deal with things differently and as humans, we
should be smart enough to decide which part of the mind we should activate for certain problematic
conditions where decision-making is the key.

Talking about analyzing discussions, if a person needs to decide which job or degree to pursue in
order to excel in his career, taking guidance solely from emotion would be a stupid approach in this
kind of venture. We can not justify our decisions about academic or professional life if they are
based on an arbitrary whim rather than logic. However, if a person is looking for a life partner, then
we can say that accepting and understanding our gut feeling can be the right way to go about it. It
does not mean that we completely ignore logic in this case, because trying to match other person's
personality do require logical thinking, but after all what we feel for the person is almost always
prove to be right.

Lastly, i just want to emphasize the fact that decisions should not be made either based on a whim
or completely based on logic. But we should try to balance both emotion and logic and decide which
one to use as our guide in what circumstances. Sometimes, we do make decisions which are not
being seen as lucrative and beneficial in the short term, regarding fiscal or monetary approaches,
but if you acknowledge what your loved ones need at the moment, those decisions certainly come
out to be remarkable and profitable in the longer term, even if that means having a happy
household, attaining peace of mind or people seeing you as a respectable person who holds his
principles and morals strong.
